Think of it as a popularity contest for carbohydrates. Good carbs are more popular, while bad carbs don’t have many friends. The GI is literally a ranking system for carbohydrates on a scale from 0-100, according to how much they raise blood sugar levels after eating.
The great thing about our low GI menus is that you do not have to wait until you reach your weight-loss goals to start seeing results. The vast majority of our Autoship subscription members see weight loss results quickly, and have reported being able to reduce blood pressure and diabetes medications. Some have even able to come off of them entirely and are able to maintain healthier weight and a healthier lifestyle with one of our Personal Chef To Go meal plan services.
